on the pulse IT’S COMPLICATED Perpetual calendars are the connoisseurs’ wristwatch, and in the age of smartphones they are trending once more By Laurie Kahle O ur Gregorian calendar is full of quirks, with some months ending at 30 days, others at 31—and then, of course, there’s February. Highly skilled watchmakers have long addressed this vexing system with a perpetual calendar complication, also known as quantième perpétuel (QP), which automatically adjusts for months of varying lengths, including leap years. Theoretically, if you kept these impressive mechanical wrist computers fully wound and optimally running, no calendar adjustment would be necessary until 1 March 2100, when Pope Gregory XIII’s idiosyncratic, 16thcentury calendar dictates we skip the leap year. The mechanism’s inherent technicity makes it a testament to the skills of any watchmaker who can master it. And, as a result, perpetual calendars have long been the provenance of the most discerning collectors. This year, several brands are offering new takes on the perpetual calendar, from classical to contemporary, elegant to sporty. A few other manufacturers have adjusted their models to make the connoisseurs’ complication more broadly appealing.
